Lost
I am lost
Lost to the world of the broken
Broken hearts left behind by the destroyed
Destroyed dreams become nightmares
Nightmares take over my haunted mind
I am lost
Lost to my own thoughts
Thoughts echoing with dark voices
Voices whisper insults quietly
Quietly pushing me towards insanity
I am lost
Lost to the darkness
Darkness coaxes me to the edge
Edge closer and push light away
Away where it cannot save me
I am lost
Lost to waves of sadness
Sadness defends against any help
Help pulls me into an embrace
Embrace the warmth of light once again
I am found
Found by your light
Light draws me to a happy place
Place me in your arms
Arms that create safety
I am found
